NRW FULL CARBON “STREET” BMW 135 E82 SUNROOF DELETE PANEL.

These are the first of their kind on the BMW Platform. A true affordable FULL Carbon Fiber, Aramid and Forged Carbon BMW 135I Sunroof Panel- These aren’t overlays or plastic at any part - 100% true AAA Grade Carbon Fiber / Hybrid / Kevlar!

Drop weight off the most immediately noticeable part of your BMW 135!

Not only will you reduce the heaviest part of the roof, but you will get the amazing benefits of substantially better/flatter braking, turn in, body roll and straight line acceleration!

THIS IS THE STREET EDITION

1.8lbs - 3.8lbs (fibers selected vary by density which in turn can affect the final weight)

2x2 Twill Carbon Fiber is the lightest at 1.87lbs and Forged Carbon is the heavier of the options.

Weight loss is 30.50 - 33.23LBS - Huge benefits in every regard!

Fully Insulated core materials between the sheets of fiber to increase strength, reduce heat transfer into the cabin and insulate for road noise. Minimal differences compared to the OEM Sunroof.

2 Stage UV System, one is a top coat with UV blocking solids and the final is 2:1 HS Urethane Clear coat to ensure a lifetime of gloss and color.

AAA Grade Finish which is a show car appearance.

NRW “Anti Rattle” padding to insulate the panel to the OEM sheet metal mounting points. Prevents the panel from making any additional noises so you can focus on the road or track ahead of you.

NRW Poly Seal System which is a closed cell polyurethane compression seal that flexes with the chassis to ensure water or elements stay OUTSIDE the car. Also allows for the panel to be removed and reinstalled with zero mess.

Uses OEM sunroof mounting points and includes 3 additional screws for the rear mounting of the panel.

DIY install is possible however we do recommend to have a second set of hands to help remove the sunroof cartridge as it weighs 34.5lbs.

Weight reduction is 32-30lbs total off the top!

Once we load the mold we then seal it off and apply the maximum vacuum attainable at our elevation via a 2hp ProSet Vac Pump. These pumps with fresh oil can manage 40 microns of vacuum (atmosphere in contrast is 760,000 microns). After we attain full vacuum with no leaks we monitor the vacuum rate by using a volume normalizer (micron gauges always show loss of vacuum once the vac source is closed and needs a large volume of air to normalize the pressure in the lines to show accurately) then wait 45 minutes. If the Micron Gauge shows no loss in the system then we are good to infuse the resin into the mold. Even a small leak of pressure 1μm will create a part with pin holes, fisheyes, or variables in the ratios that will visibly be fine however cause issue later.

We Dremel/cut the cover to its final shape and oil/mounting holes then take it to our paint booth to shoot 2:1 High Solids Urethane UV Clear Coat in 3 stages. This is the best possible protection to the resin as its atomization is fine to stick to all small areas compared to the usual Duratec UV Gel Coating. You will see the difference in person immediately as Urethane is extremely glossy.
